    Theres that boy that was at Dortmund recently as well Youssoufa Moukoko who is "20" but is said to be 25, think he claimed to be the son of some old guy who was about 64 when he was born and claimed his sister was his ma even though his sister was only about 29, the old guy had German citizenship so they moved there to get him into football pretending he was 13 when he was 18. Then his real dad came out saying he's called Youssoufo Mohamadou and is 5 year older.

    Is it really from 2010 though. He's wearing the 2006 Nigeria strip.

    Look at the big yin at 16.... with the U17 best player award....

    An u13 team wearing a kit that's 2 or 3 older in a relatively poor country will be pretty common I'd imagine.

    That's him at City as well. Definitely looks his age. Think we can stop this now as its a bit of a riddy.

    Theres no way a players legs start to go at 24/25/26 and at 28 they're like a guy on his last legs.

    Many 28 year olds are on 1 year contracts? the proof is in the pudding.

    Even Sevilla signed him on a 2 year contract at 27, unheard of.

    Aaron Mooy and Izaguirre were 32 when we gave them 1 year contracts. Kolo Toure was 35.

    You've * all evidence other than he gained a bit of weight though and perceived as slow.

    Even look at the pics from 2013. He's got stubble on his chin and tache, barely anything on the sides and gradually he's grown a full beard.

    He's clearly a teenager in 2013.

    He's got a 1 year deal bcoz he's a Rodgers signing and he'll be off when Rodgers goes. Probably on a decent wage given how desperate we were and board won't want stung paying that once new manager comes in.

    Iheanacho will just be another 1 in the mass clear out that's coming this summer.

    I don't think it is tbh. I think there's a very obvious element of risk to this signing given how his career has gone. Hence why noone else really wanted to go near him. And why sevilla just released him rather than bother with a fee.

    That's not to say Rodgers won't still be away, mind. Which he will.

    Literally all it says is we have concerns over his fitness and he's on a decent wage. There is also an option to extend so it's a 2 year deal if we want it to be.

    We got burned with McCarthy before. We gave 26 yo Lassad a 2 year deal. We gave a 26yo Mouyokolo a 1 year deal due to injury history. 30yo Kapo an 18 month deal.

    Usually is there is a doubt there is a shorter term, especially if expensive. It's not crazy

    Short highlights from the last 6 months. He actually looks sharp here. I was under the impression he's completely done going by some of the comments here.

    If he's brilliant we can get another year. If he's * then we won't. Decent acquisition on paper. We needed a striker. He's got experience at a high level.

    Doing some reading of old threads on a Boro forum there was some comments with a lot of likes saying that he was being treated harshly by fans and that they tended to play better on average with him in the team linking the play.
